[And It mingled with it: for] one says also, كَأَنَّ رِيقَتَهَا خَمْرٌ يَشُوبُهَا عَسَلٌ [As though her saliva were wine with which honey mingled]. (A.) b2: [It is sometimes used in a good sense, but more frequently in a bad sense; and often means He adulterated, vitiated, or sophisticated, it.] It is said in a trad., يَشْهَدُ بَيْعَكُمُ الحَلِفُ وَاللَّغْوُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ (assumed tropical:) [Swearing, and unprofitable speech, attend your selling; therefore mix ye it with alms]. (TA.) And it is said in a prov., هُوَ يَشُوبُ وَيَرُوبُ (assumed tropical:) He mixes, or confounds, or makes a confusion or disorder, in speech and in actions: (S, TA:) or he says right one time and wrong another time: (As, TA:) or he defends without energy: (TA:) or he is sometimes incited to motion, or action, and defends himself, but without energy, and sometimes he is motionless, and does not become excited to motion, or action; and it is not from [the words شَوْبٌ and رَوْبٌ applied to] milk: so says Aboo-Sa'eed [i. e. As]: and he says also that شَابَ عَنْهُ وَرَابَ meanshe defended him at one time, and was sluggish, or indolent, at another time: and that عنه ↓ شوّب, inf. n. تَشْوِيبٌ, means he defended him without energy: and thus this latter is expl. in the K, as is likewise شاب عنه: also that the Arabs say, لَقِيتُ فُلَانًا اليَوْمَ يَشُوبُ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ, meaning I found such a one to-day defending his companions in some measure. (TA.) [See also art. روب.] b3: شاب also signifies He acted treacherously, perfidiously, or unfaithfully: (Fr, TA:) he lied: he deceived in selling or buying: and he acted dishonestly, insincerely, or with dissimulation. (IAar, TA.) b4: [See also Har p. 448; where it is implied that it signifies also He spoke truth, or was veracious.]2 شَوَّبَ see the preceding paragraph.7 إِنْشَوَبَ see what next follows.8 إِشْتَوَبَ اشتاب It was, or became, mixed; (O, K;) as also ↓ انشاب. (K.) شَوْبٌ inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, A, &c.) b2: [Hence,] لَا شَوْبَ وَلَا رَوْبَ, occurring in a trad., means There is, or shall be, no dishonesty, insincerity, or dissimulation, nor mixing, in the selling, or buying: so says IAar: or I am irresponsible with respect to this commodity: or, as he is related to have said, thou art irresponsible for its being faulty, or defective. (TA. [See also شَوْبَةٌ.]) b3: And شَوْبٌ (TA) and ↓ شِيَابٌ, (S, TA,) [each an inf. n. used as a subst. properly so termed,] or ↓ شِيَابَةٌ, (so in one copy of the S,) signify A mixture; an admixture; or a thing mixed with another thing. (S, TA.) Thus شَوْبًا signifies in the Kur xxxvii. 65: (TA:) or, accord. to one reading, the word there is ↓ شُوبًا, meaning a thing with which another thing is mixed. (Bd.) الشَّوْبُ also signifies [particularly] What is mixed [with something else], of water or of milk: (K:) one says, سَقَاهُ الذَّوْبَ بِالشَّوْبِ He gave him to drink honey with water, or milk, mixed [therewith]: (TA:) or سَقَاهُ الشَّوْبَ بِالذَّوْبِ He gave him to drink milk [mixed] with honey. (IDrd, TA.) And Mixed honey; as in the saying, مَا عِنْدِى

شَوْبٌ وَلَا رَوْبٌ I have not mixed honey nor milk such as is termed رَائِب [q. v.]: (IAar, TA:) or [simply] honey &c.; (A, Msb, TA;) so called because they mix it with beverages; (Msb;) as in the saying, سَقَاهُ الشَّوْبَ بِالرَّوْبِ He gave him to drink honey with clarified butter, or with milk. (A.) And Broth; as in the saying, مَا عِنْدَهُ شَوْبٌ وَلَا رَوْبٌ He has not broth nor milk. (S, K: but in the latter, مَا لَهُ.) And شَوْبٌ signifies also A piece of dough. (K.) b4: And [the pl.] أَشْوَابٌ signifies (assumed tropical:) A medley, or mixed multitude, of sundry sorts: a less particular term than أَوْبَاشٌ, which signifies a medley, or mixed multitude, of the low, or lower, or lowest, sort: (TA, from a trad.:) accord. to El-Jawáleekee, it is an arabicized word, from the Pers\. آشُوبٌ. (TA in art. وشب.) شُوبٌ: see شُوبًا in the next preceding paragraph.

شَوْبَةٌ Deceit, delusion, guile, or circumvention: (K: [see also شَوْبٌ:]) [or, app., somewhat thereof:] one says, فِى فُلَانٍ شَوْبَةٌ [In such a one is deceit, &c.]. (TA.) شَيْبَآءُ A virgin in the night of her devirgination: (Ibn-Abi-l-Hadeed, MF:) [either from شَابَ having for its aor. ـُ signifying “ he mixed,” or from شَابَ having for its aor. ـِ signifying “ he became white-headed, or hoary; ” as shown by what follows:] one says, بَاتَتْ بِلَيْلَةِ شَيْبَآءَ, (S and A in art. شيب, and K in the present art.,) and بِلَيْلَةِ الشَّيْبَآءِ, (K,) She passed the night of a virgin then devirginated, (S, A, K,) and of the virgin then devirginated: (K, TA:) said of a virgin-bride when she is devirginated by the bridegroom in the night in which she has been first brought to him: (A, K, TA:) in the contr. case, when she is not devirginated, one says, بَاتَتْ بِلَيْلَةِ حُرَّةٍ: (S, TA:) and one says also, بِلَيْلَةٍ شَيْبَآءَ and بِلَيْلَةٍ حُرَّةٍ: (TA in art. حر:) Z, in the A, mentions the first phrase in art. شيب, and makes it to be tropical, as though the bride were in that night afflicted by an event so severe as to cause the locks of her hair to become white: in the L it is said that the ى in شيباء is substituted for و, because of [the allusion of the phrase to] the mixing of the sperma genitale of the man with that of the woman; but that ٰشَوْبَآء has not been heard instead of شيباء: ISd, in the M, mentions it in arts. شوب and شيب; observing that the ى is said to take the place of و: J, as well as Z and others, mentions it in art. شيب [q. v.]. (TA.) شِيَابٌ and شِيَابَةٌ: see شَوْبٌ.

شَائِبَةٌ sing. of شَوَائِبُ meaning The whiteness [mixing] with the darkness of night. (Har p.

58.) b2: The saying لَيْسَ فِيهِ شَائِبَةُ مُلْكٍ may be from شَابَهُ “ he mixed it; ” meaning There is not in it anything [of ownership, or right of possession,] mixed therewith, though small, or however small; like as one says, لَيْسَ فِيهِ عُلْقَةٌ وَلَا شُبْهَةٌ; it being an instance of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ, as in عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ: thus the lawyers use it. (Msb.) b3: شَائِبَةٌ is also sing. of شَوَائِبُ meaning Uncleannesses, filths, or pollutions; or unclean, filthy, or foul, things. (S, Msb, K. *) مَشُوبٌ (S, Msb) and مَشِيبٌ, the latter from شِيب [“ it was mixed ”], Mixed. (S, Msb.) A poet says, (namely, Suleyk Ibn-Es-Sulakeh EsSaadee, TA,) وَمَآءُ قُدُورٍ فِى القِصَاعِ مَشِيبُ i. e. [And the water of cooking-pots, in the wooden bowls,] mixed with seeds for seasoning and with sauces. (S.) b2: الفَتْحَةُ المَشُوبَةُ بِالكَسْرَةِ means[The fet-hah that is mingled with kesreh; which is] the fethah that precedes the ا of إِمَالَة; as in عَابِدٌ and عَارِفٌ [when they are pronounced “ 'ébidun ” and “ 'érifun ”]; for امالة consists in inclining [the sound of] fet-hah towards [that of] kesreh; whereby [the sound of] the ا that follows it is inclined, and is not a pure ا; for like as [the sound of] the fet-hah is mingled [with that of kesreh], so is [the sound of] the ا [mingled with that of ى]. (L, TA.) مُشَاوَبٌ, with damm [to the م], and fet-h to the و, [not with both of these vowels to the و as supposed by Freytag,] The case (غِلَاف) of a flash or bottle; (K;) because it is mixed with redness and yellowness and greenness; mentioned by AHát on the authority of As: (TA:) pl. مَشَاوِبُ: (AHát, K:) or the pl. signifies [receptacles of the sorts called] أَسْفَاط [pl. of سَفَطٌ] and حُقَق [pl. of حُقَّةٌ] made of palm-leaves. (A.)

الخَلَصَةُ:
مضاف إليها ذو، بفتح أوله وثانيه، ويروى بضم أوله وثانيه، والأول أصح، والخلصة في اللغة:
نبت طيب الريح يتعلّق بالشجر له حبّ كعنب الثعلب، وجمع الخلصة خلص: وهو بيت أصنام كان لدوس وخثعم وبجيلة ومن كان ببلادهم من العرب بتبالة، وهو صنم لهم فأحرقه جرير بن عبد الله البجلي حين بعثه النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، وقيل:
كان لعمرو بن لحيّ بن قمعة نصبه، أعني الصنم، بأسفل مكة حين نصب الأصنام في مواضع شتّى، فكانوا يلبسونه القلائد ويعلّقون عليه بيض النعام ويذبحون عنده، وكان معناهم في تسميتهم له بذلك أن عبّاده والطائفين به خلصة، وقيل: هو الكعبة اليمانية التي بناها أبرهة بن الصباح الحميري، وكان فيه صنم يدعى الخلصة فهدم، وقيل: كان ذو الخلصة يسمّى الكعبة اليمانية، والبيت الحرام الكعبة الشامية، وقال أبو القاسم الزمخشري: في قول من زعم أن ذا الخلصة بيت كان فيه صنم نظر لأن ذو لا يضاف إلا إلى أسماء الأجناس، وقال ابن حبيب في مخبره: كان ذو الخلصة بيتا تعبده بجيلة وخثعم والحارث بن كعب وجرم وزبيد والغوث بن مرّ بن أدّ وبنو هلال ابن عامر، وكانوا سدنته بين مكة واليمن بالعبلاء على أربع مراحل من مكة، وهو اليوم بيت قصّار فيما أخبرت، وقال المبرّد: موضعه اليوم مسجد جامع لبلدة يقال لها العبلات من أرض خثعم، وقال أبو المنذر: ومن أصنام العرب ذو الخلصة، وكانت مروة بيضاء منقوشة عليها كهيئة التاج، وكانت بتبالة بين مكة واليمن على مسير سبع ليال من مكة، وكان سدنتها بني أمامة من باهلة بن أعصر، وكانت تعظّمها وتهدي لها خثعم وبجيلة وأزد السراة ومن قاربهم من بطون العرب ومن هوازن، ففيها يقول خداش بن زهير العامري لعثعث بن وحشيّ الخثعمي في عهد كان بينهم فغدر بهم:
وذكّرته بالله بيني وبينه، ... وما بيننا من مدّة لو تذكّرا
وبالمروة البيضاء ثم تبالة ... ومجلسة النعمان حيث تنصّرا
فلما فتح رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، مكة وأسلمت العرب ووفدت عليه وفودها قدم عليه جرير بن عبد الله مسلما، فقال له: يا جرير ألا تكفيني ذا الخلصة؟ فقال: بلى، فوجّهه إليه فخرج حتى أتى بني أحمس من بجيلة فسار بهم إليه، فقاتلته
خثعم وقتل مائتين من بني قحافة بن عامر بن خثعم وظفر بهم وهزمهم وهدم بنيان ذي الخلصة وأضرم فيه النار فاحترق، فقالت امرأة من خثعم:
وبنو أمامة بالوليّة صرّعوا ... شملا، يعالج كلّهم أنبوبا
جاءوا لبيضتهم، فلاقوا دونها ... أسدا يقبّ لدى السيوف قبيبا
قسم المذلّة، بين نسوة خثعم، ... فتيان أحمس قسمة تشعيبا
قال: وذو الخلصة اليوم عتبة باب مسجد تبالة، قال: وبلغنا أن رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: لا تذهب الدنيا حتى تصطكّ أليات نساء بني دوس على ذي الخلصة يعبدونه كما كانوا يعبدونه. والخلصة: من قرى مكة بوادي مرّ الظهران، وقال القاضي عياض المغربي: ذو الخلصة بالتحريك وربما روي بضمها والأول أكثر، وقد رواه بعضهم بسكون اللام، وكذا قاله ابن دريد، وهو بيت صنم في ديار دوس، وهو اسم صنم لا اسم بنية، وكذا جاء في الحديث تفسيره، وفي أخبار امرئ القيس: لما قتلت بنو أسد أباه حجرا وخرج يستنجد بمن يعينه على الأخذ بثأره حتى أتى حمير فالتجأ إلى قيل منهم يقال له مرثد الخير بن ذي جدن الحميري، فاستمدّه على بني أسد، فأمدّه بخمسمائة رجل من حمير مع رجل يقال له قرمل ومعه شذّاذ من العرب، واستأجر من قبائل اليمن رجالا فسار بهم يطلب بني أسد، ومرّ بتبالة وبها صنم للعرب تعظمه يقال له ذو الخلصة فاستقسم عنده بقداحه، وهي ثلاثة:
الآمر والناهي والمتربّص، فأجالها فخرج الناهي، ثم أجالها فخرج الناهي، ثم أجالها فخرج الناهي، فجمعها وكسرها وضرب بها وجه الصنم وقال:
مصصت بظر أمك لو قتل أبوك ما نهيتني! فقال عند ذلك:
لو كنت يا ذا الخلص الموتورا ... مثلي، وكان شيخك المقبورا،
لم تنه عن قتل العداة زورا
ثم خرج فظفر ببني أسد وقتل عليّا قاتل أبيه وأهل بيته وألبسهم الدروع البيض محماة وكحلهم بالنار، وقال في ذلك:
يا دار سلمى، دارسا نؤيها، ... بالرمل والجبتين من عاقل
وهي قصيدة، فيقال: إنه ما استقسم عند ذي الخلصة بعدها أحد بقدح حتى جاء الإسلام وهدمه جرير بن عبد الله البجلي، وفي الحديث: أن ذا الخلصة سيعبد في آخر الزمان، قال: لن تقوم الساعة حتى تصطفق أليات نساء بني دوس وخثعم حول ذي الخلصة.
